Former United States President Donald Trump claimed that the sitting president, Joe Biden, appeared confused during a recent encounter with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. He shared these thoughts at a rally in Iowa, addressing supporters and presenting his interpretation of the meeting. Trump asserted that the San Francisco summit with China showed Biden seemingly unsure of the situation and described Xi as someone who projects an intimidating, unmoved demeanor, like a statue or a granite slab in the room. According to Trump, the contrast between Biden’s perception and Xi’s calculated composure painted a stark picture of leadership under pressure. Trump’s remarks framed Biden as overwhelmed by the moment and questioned his capacity to navigate complex international talks on sensitive topics such as trade, security, and geopolitical influence.
